Physicians Have Found Ont

that a contaminating and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is
the cause Of rheumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub-cutaneous covering OF the
muscles and igaments of the Joints, causing
constant and shifting pain, and aggregating
as calcareous, chalky deposit, which pro.
duces stiffness and distortion OF the joints.
No fact which experience has demonstrated
in regard to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has
stronger evidence to support than this,
namely, that this medicine OF comprehen-
sive uses checks the formidable and afro
cious disease, nor is 1t less positively estab-
often used to arrest It, since the medicine
contains only salutary Ingredients. 1t is
also signal remedy for malarial fevers,
constipation, dyspepsia, kidney and bladder
ailments, debility and other disorders. See

A Javanese Dreamer,

To transform men into all sorts OF be-
ings, both vegetable and animal, from
sweet scented flowers to pigs and preda-
torJ animals. yea even into rocks of salt
was favorite pastime with all the di-
whites and magcians of old But the
transformation of a happy couple into a
pair of cannon is something incompara-
ble-reserved to the reigning divinity Of
the island of Java, in the East Indian
archipelago. Setama was the wisest of
the wise men of Java, ana prime minister
and governor at the same time and his
wife, Satomi, the most beautiful and most
adorable of women and an invaluable
helpmate ia all her husbands onerous
duties of government.
Some night King Sari had dream that
the Javancse god had made him a present
of pair of the most beautiful Cannons in
the world He called on his prime minis
ter and sent him of To find the cannon.
The minister took his faithful wife with
him, and they wandered for Years without
finding the cannon. A. last they went
into temple and prayed feryently to their
god TO let them find the promised cannon,
as they could not return 10 the king with
out them. That same night Setama's son
has dream that he could find the cannon
in the same temple where his parents had
taken refage. He goes there. but sees no
trace Of either his parents or the cannon.
At last hs goes to the couch where his
parents had been sleeping and-lo and be-
hold.-,hcre are the Two cannon, wrapped
up in counterpanes like sleeping beauties.
